""We could have fixed the situation against Copenhagen but weren't good enough. Now it's Chelsea, the club world champions," Conte said. "I know them very well, the vision they have, the investments they make, the ambition they have. "We will have to try and give everything and also rely on our strong ally - the Stadio Maradona, and we can't underestimate that."
"Conte takes on his former club in Naples on Wednesday in their final league phase clash, with the Partenopei 25th in the 36-team table, one place outside the play-offs. The Napoli boss has only won one of his five games against Chelsea since leaving his post there (D1 L3), although that one win did come in his most recent game against them. However, the only previous meetings between Napoli and Chelsea came in the 2011-12 Champions League, with the Blues eliminating the Italian side in the last 16."
Napoli face Chelsea in the final Champions League group match in Naples, with the Partenopei 25th in a 36-team table and one place outside the play-offs. Conte has won only one of his five matches against Chelsea since leaving his post (D1 L3). Napoli previously met Chelsea in the 2011-12 Champions League, when Chelsea eliminated them in the last 16. Napoli have lost just one of their last 20 Champions League home matches (W12 D7). The squad has several injury absences, including David Neres and Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, alongside other unavailable players.
